If this atom is a neutral atom, the subatomic particles would be 56 protons, 56 neutrons, and 56 electrons.

Answer is 56 protons and 56 electrons.

Explanation;

Atomic number is equal to number of protons. Hence, when the atomic number is 56, it means that atom has 56 protons.

When the element is in neutral state, number of protons = number of electrons. Hence, we can say that barium atom has 56 electrons.

But same element can have different number of neutrons. Those are called isotopes. Hence, we cannot say that there are 56 neutrons in barium atom without having its mass number. (Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons)

What other means of qualitative analysis are used to identify metals

Masja [62]

Figure out the density. every metal has it's own. just fill a glass up to the top with water, and then carefully put the metal in. measure how much water is displaced (either by collecting the water or by measuring the glass afterwards),
then you will have the substance's density, because you have volume and it's measurement.

Carbon reacts with steam (h2o) at high temperatures to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide. if 2 mol of carbon are exposed to 3

Ne4ueva [31]

The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
C + H₂O ---> H₂ + CO
stoichiometry of C to H₂O is 1:1
1 mol of C reacts with 1 mol of H₂O
we need to find which is the limiting reactant
2 mol of C and 3.1 mol of H₂O
therefore C is the limiting reactant and H₂O is in excess.
stoichiometry of C to H₂ is 1:1
then number of H₂ moles formed are equal to C moles reacted
number of H₂ moles formed = 2 mol
